Vacation, All I Ever Wanted

It’s time to load up the family truckster and head out for some rest and relaxation.

Wait. Who am I kidding? There’s really no such thing as a vacation when you have kids. Someone still has to do laundry, feed everyone, and make sure everyone uses the bathroom at the most opportune times/rest stops.

Vacations are fun, though, and I’m looking forward to our adventure. Something will inevitably go wrong, I know. Last summer we had an enjoyable camping trip to Mackinaw City, Michigan. My “bad mom” vacation moment happened after the trip when I returned home, left the roof bubble attached to my roof rack, forgot it was there, and drove it into our carport.

Just a few dents and pieces of roof rack still attached…

And let’s not forget what happened this winter when my family went to Disneyworld. We watched a giant hawk swoop down to the Boardwalk Resort swimming pool, scoop up not one but two baby ducklings, and rip them to shreds outside our hotel room.

I feel like duck tonight…

Good times, good times!

Can’t wait to see what adventures are in store for us in the coming week. Don’t despair, though. I’ve got a fantastic guest post lined up from Adrienne over at The Mommy Mess on Tuesday and a “killer” home movie on Thursday. When I get back, I’ll be ready to host my second ever giveaway featuring a Happy Doodles custom stuffed toy.

’til then!
